The Joint Annual Meeting of the EUROfusion (European Consortium for the Development of Fusion Energy) Work Packages on Plasma-Facing Components (PFC and JET2) will take place at Jožef Stefan Institute from 20.11. to 23.11.2017. During the meeting sub-project leaders...

EUROfusion Project “Code Development for Integrated Modelling (WP-CD)” “Code Camp” is organised at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME), from the 4th to the 15th September, 2017. At the Code Camp WP-CD members contribute to developments...

Can you believe they are trying to build a Sun on Earth? – Director Mila Aung-Thwin was amazed when he first heard about ITER. He immediately felt the need to tell the story of the fusion quest and began to work on a documentary. Four years and four visits to the ITER...

Specific tasks have been defined under the EUROfusion Work Package on Plasma Facing Components (WP PFC) for which the usage of linear facilities able to handle beryllium, such as PISCES-B, is necessary. For the 2017-2018 EU-US collaboration in the PISCES-B Facility...

The subject of the project titled “Upgrade of laboratory experimental system to study interaction of H or D atoms with liquid Sn or Sn/Li” is in the Liquid metals as PFCs section, and is focused on Sn and Sn/Li characterization. Experiments with liquid metal plasma...

Tungsten or advanced tungsten alloys are considered to be the most suitable material for plasma-facing components in future fusion reactors such as DEMO. In these nuclear devices tritium retention in neutron-damaged tungsten will become a more significant issue. In...

The European Fusion Programme Workshop – EFPW 2015 was hosted by the Slovenian Fusion Association (SFA) and Jožef Stefan Institute in Bled, Slovenia, from 30th November till 2nd December. The topic of the Workshop addressed material development and components...

On April 22, 2015 we celebrated 10 years of Slovenian Fusion Association (SFA). SFA has proved to be a well-oiled machine which, continues to integrate and contribute valuably into the European fusion programme. That could, of course, not be possible without...

Tony Donné (1956) is Programme Manager of EUROfusion. In this role he is coordinating the research in the field of fusion physics and technology within the 29 European Research Units that comprise the EUROfusion consortium. Amongst other the EUROfusion consortium is...
